Good point, I had not considered that; Python's relyance on
indentation made me think that indenting past the level of the class
would cause problems.

I will try to remember to remove them for posting, but I find them
immensely helpful; using a screen reader, and so not being able to
look at code and see the indentation, means that I have to have a way
to tell myself where things end, much like braces in other languages.
When I post here I will try to remove them, but for code I zip and put
on my website they have to stay since I rely on them and the zip is
just what I am working on at the time, plus there are a lot of those
comments to remove from an entire project.
